Akai CT-2868AT I got this tv for free and it doesn't have a remote. I just want to be able to switch to the a/v channel without a remote. I bought a Remotec universal remote and I can't get it to work with this tv, none of the codes for it work. Not only that, I cannot find a manual for this tv so I don't even know if I can switch to a/v without a remote.

I don't know the code, but I have found that if you purchase the Philips SRU 1018/10 11 (for about $30AUD) model of Universal remote, and do an Automatic search it picks it up. Don't bother going through the codes in the back of the book. Went through them twice thinking I had entered them wrong. But persevere with the Auto search for about 4-5 mins and it picks it up. I have the AKAI CT-2868AT model two, under similar circumstances it was given to me with no remote.

I had the same problem with a broken remote for the Akai CT-2868AT which meant I could not access the AV channel. I bought the one-for-all (model URC-7711) universal remote which worked with this model TV.

That is the Digital range of channels, since it is digital you will not need a converter box for this model. Their is also an Analog range of channels which is the primary setting, You will need the factory remote to switch from Analog to Digital... Without that remote you might have a problem their isnt a way to switch within the menu settings, good luck!!!

I recently bought a used LCT2060 that had no remote. I figured my
comcast cable remote would work without a problem but it didn't. So 3
universal remotes later I found my solution...a radio shack
universal gamer remote. It controls up to 5 components plus your
xbox360, playstation and pc. The price on sale was a mere 12.97, not bad
if you ask me. Hope this helped. The code that worked for the Akai
was 11676. Take care...
